Visualizing

[Ageo]

hehe sorry mate, you know how it is with net spelling. Everything is short to make life easier

 

[swingstar]

I have a description of what I want to achieve written in the present tense - as if I've already achieved it and I'm living my desired lifestyle - about 500 words. I read it every morning. I update it every now and then, but its essence stays pretty much the same.

yes i realise, its not easy thow - there are so many times when you doubt yourself. I reckon its a tad harder when your younger aswell as older (supposedly more wiser) people try and steal it from you.

Hello....I think visualisation is helpful in remaining focussed on your goals.I have found that other people don`t want me to achieve my goals or prefer I take a path that they think is better for me.This contradiction of what I want and what other people want has been a running battle for years.I will win (or my ego will so the books say).

Consciously visualising goals requires as much discipline as holding the goal itself.Another factor is time frames.Most people will not let you have what you want because of the belief in price paying,i.e. earning/deserving your goal.That itself is open to other peoples opinions and that is because other people have the physical things we want,therefore determining when we get them.Manipulation is a subtle thing and manifests in many forms.Listen and you will see it.

Mental,emotional and spiritual goals are much easier to achieve as the individuals own desire/will can achieve these.It may require turning off the `noise`, for example t.v and radio (news,advertising) `cause you subconsciously soak up lots of stuff that is deadening.

Finally.....selfishness is required to achieve financial wealth , gimme gimme gimme.It is a scant disreguard for the earth and balance of nature.

I am one.....I am hoomun.

How does it help you achieve your goals when you are already there through visualising it in the present tense?

Visualise the goal you have set and then do whatever it takes to reach it. It`s a bit like walking up your hallway removing all objects on the way to unhinder your journey - the goal is to reach the end. In trading it`s selling losers early and pyramiding the ones doing well. The constant monitoring guides you in your choices with the vision of the goal always present.

I`ll post more later on it.

Have fun

Hi,

I don`t agree here. Obviously there are issues that are debatable, but generally those who help and share do well.

Snake, i dont think there is ever a end. I mean once you achieve it you dont then stop. More like a checkpoint, once you pass it you move onto the next.

But i do understand where your coming from

When I visualise, I'm still aware that there's a lot of work to be done, but visualising something as a far-off goal doesn't stir the juices as much and I gain a much clearer goal.

Give it a go.

Interesting topic Snake

I truly believe that all the world is a stage and that each of us is a character that we consciously or unconsciously create. It is no secret that our significant others often provided us with our first roles and characters. That is why both excellent behaviour and deviate behaviour in anything is often repeated in families. Self fulfilling prophecies you might say. However, that neither makes them true or concrete for us, unless we are ignorant of them or accept them as such.

Take a good look at your family to see which traits and behaviours you share. Chances are the things you most dislike about them are part of your own repertoire. Great, at least you can bust yourself at it and respond the way you now choose.

Find people that are successful at what you want to do and copy them. Be ready for discomfort in the form of resistance from yourself and others as you get pushed and pulled back into your old character. Just know its an old protective response between the known and the unknown. I will go as far as to say the more resistance the better the end result will be.

Has it helped me in my life and trading? Definitely, following procedure and doing what is right and in line with my goals is very much an intergral part of my character.

Cheers

Hi Snake,

...... anybody interested in learning about visualising goals and
other guided imagery may be interested in Sandy Mcgregor's
works, like "Piece of Mind" (and many more).

Sandy is based in NSW and his own personal story, about
his recovery from truly devasting circumstances, stands
testament to how we can use the power of our minds to
assist in securing our goals, in the future.

Sandy's website can be found at:

happy days

Hi Yogi,

Personally I believe this can be done alone without courses etc. Some good books maybe.

Noted Ageo, but time needs to be taken into acount which my example didn`t.

Is the daily helping achieve the weekly, and is it helping achieve the monthly etc.

ah yes i agree with that (if thats what you meant)

deadlines (timeframes) are important because they give a sense of urgency.

Chasing the market is a no, no though. At the same time just being recipient to what the market dishes out is also a no, no.

Ageo,

I`m interested in how this approach affects your risk perspective of the markets? Staying on track can be a difficult thing to achieve, not to mention the discipline test.

Snake i didnt mean deadlines as in (you need to make that $1000 today or else you wont achieve your goal and then get hammered type of thing). Deadline is basically putting some value on the goal, i know too many people that have goals but dont put the necessary action into it because they dont value it enough. All a deadline means is that when i visualize i realise the importance of it everyday of what i need to do in order to achieve it.

But in no way is that combined with my trading because as you mentioned chasing the market can make you go bankrupt before you know it (i tried it once on my 2nd day of trading and lost $1300 in 10 minutes lol).

I know with trading there is alwasy another day and plenty of days to achieve the income im after. So it has to be a relaxing and enjoyable journey (slowly but surely).

If my results after a few months are not on par with my goals then i re-evaluate them to make them more "achievable".
